Case Cooling - Fan recommendations

SayWhat? · 18 Dec 2013 at 00:12

I have recently bought a NZXT Phantom 530 case, which came pre-installed with 200mm fan at the front (intake) and 140mm fan at the back of the case (which I repositioned to the top so that I could install the Corsair H80i cooler). I'm looking to improve the airflow in my case. The case supports the following:

Front: 1 * 200mm fan
Rear: 1 * 140mm fan
Top: 2 * 200mm/140mm or 3 * 120mm fans
Side: 1 * 140mm
Bottom: 2* 120mm

Can anyone provide recommendations on any case fans that provide good cooling performance without being too loud?

I was looking at a few websites and one of the recommendations was the Antec TwoCool fans. Has anyone used these fans before or could anyone provide any other recommendations?

Thanks OLDPHART, so you reckon its better to have 1* 200mm fan at the top rather than 2 * 140mm fans?

Any recommendations on a good case fan?

Hi again, well l replaced 3x120mm fans in my BitFenix Raider case with 2x 200mm BitFenix Spectre PRO 200mm Fans. But l have them both pulling air in to the case like Silverstone FTO1 positive air pressure.

The top 200mm fan blows air over the mobo with the front 200mm fan cools the HD bay and push's air towards my Sli 670. You can feel the hot air coming out the back through the PCI slots.

Remember to use dust filters with the fans, my 200mm fan set at about 500rpm with a fan controller push's more air than my 140mm 1000rpm fans.

Next have there own 200mm fans, a some one in the forum might tell you if they are any good.
